Jorge Ramos Wins “Victim Apprentice”

Congratulations to Univision’s Jorge Ramos on winning Victim Apprentice! You succeeded in pouting and shouting your way to the spotlight.

Victim Apprentice is a real reality show hosted by Donald Trump—without Trump realizing he’s hosting it. Contestants are C-level celebrities who crave attention but lack talent. Desperate for a career boost, they metaphorically throw themselves in front of Trump’s car as he cruises down the highway—forcing him to slam on the breaks and bump into them.

It’s a Trump Bump. It’s akin to how Hollywood celebrities used to beg the late comedian Joan Rivers to work them into her jokes. Getting nicked by a famous “bully” is a sly career move because you can win fame and fortune without natural talent or hard work.

Prior to last week, when Ramos threw a tantrum at a Trump press conference, most Americans had never heard of him. Today, thanks to a Trump Bump, he’s a household name.

At the press conference, Ramos raises his voice and begins interrogating his host: “Mr. Trump, I have a question on your immigration plan!”Uninterested in Trump’s acknowledgment, Ramos rattles on. “Ok, who’s next?” Trump says, ignoring Ramos’ rudeness. A reporter raises his hand and Trump nods for him to go ahead.

Like a jealous lover, Ramos starts squawking about his “right” to speak. Trump says: “Excuse me, sit down. It’s not your turn. You weren’t called.” Returning to the reporter, Trump says: “Go ahead.” Ramos goes ballistic: “Mr. Trump, I have a RIGHT to ask a question!”

Ramos’ birthday is March 16 and Trump hosted a press conference on August 25, yet many politicians and journalists responded to this incident as if Trump was a guest at Ramos’ private birthday bash and threw him out of his own party. Jeb Bush, for example, bleated that Ramos deserves “more respect.”

5 facts about the man Jeb Bush thinks deserves “more respect:”

1.) Ramos’ employer, Univision, is owned by a top Hillary Clinton fundraiser and supporter, Alberto Ciurana.

2.) Ciurana re-posted an image on Instagram likening Trump to racist mass murderer Dylann Roof.

3.) Ramos’ daughter Paola works for Clinton’s presidential campaign.

4.) Clinton used a personal email address and private server for official state business; kept at least four classified materials on her server—two of which were designated with the highest level of security (“Top Secret”); and mysteriously deleted 33,000 emails from her server.

5.) Fox News’ Ed Henry questioned Clinton to see if she had “wiped” her server clean prior to delivering it to the FBI and she sniffed: “I don’t know. I have no idea. Like with a cloth or something?”

Keep those facts in mind. Now, back to Bush. Is he jealous that Trump holds his own in situations where he would crumble? Remember how Bush fled his own Townhall event as soon as Black Lives Matter protestors showed up? Hmm.

Ramos’ tantrum also won him airtime on national TV, including an eight-minute primetime segment on Fox News’ The Kelly File.

Host Megyn Kelly: “Well, how does it feel to be caught in the crosshairs of a presidential front-runner?”

Ramos: “Well, well, you know exactly how it feels.” (Kelly nods.)

As the interview continues, Ramos shares his false narrative: “I follow my turn… I said: ‘I have a question on immigration,’ … and as soon as I started telling him that it [his immigration plan] is impossible, he didn’t like the question, and then he called on another reporter…”

Kelly remarks: “It’s not unusual for a reporter to do what you did.”

Not unusual? For the past six years, her Fox News colleagues have attended White House pressers wherereporters are required to sit quietly; raise their hands; and wait to be called upon by President Obama. Ramos may work at Univision, but he appears to be the exception to the universal rule that journalists behave with decorum at press conferences.

In July, Obama chastised CBS News correspondent Major Garrett with a stern “You should know better” after Garrett waited his turn and asked Obama why he didn’t negotiate harder for American hostages in Iran.

Obama is an elected official and Clinton is a former cabinet member. Both have a duty to communicate with the electorate, yet both routinely shut down courteous reporters. Trump is a private businessman with no obligation to hold press conferences and every right to quiet rambunctious reporters if he does hold press conferences.

Congratulations, Ramos. It was so big of you to show up at Trump’s press conference and throw a tantrum. You expect the world to fall silent when you speak—but couldn’t care less if Obama gags another reporter, or is spurned by Clinton. Your daughter and your boss work and fundraise for Clinton, who has proven herself to be dishonest and disrespectful toward the press. You refuse to grow up, and for this reason, you are this month’s winner of Victim Apprentice.

Share this with everyone who feels sorry for Jorge Ramos. Because it’s high time that victimhood is not a path to celebrity status in America. If Mr. Ramos starts crying, we’ll tell him—as Trump used to tell his contestants on The Apprentice: "It's nothing personal, it’s just business."

Does Ramos really care for Undocumented immigrants? Did he ever rise his voice for the brutal treatment received the Central Americans and Cubans by the Mexican authorities when they tried to cross Mexico to reach U.S. in their quest for freedom and better opportunities?

Jorge Ramos has stated publicly: ”I’ve never ceased to be Mexican and I vote in elections in both countries”

Ramos support the Mexican invasion of U.S., he is one of the crazy Chicanos (as the San Antonio Castro brothers) that want to create a Mexican state, Aztlan, covering all of the South West of U.S.; his loyalty is to Mexico, not the U.S.

When Ramos was made American citizen he had to make and oath that he has violated.

“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America.

Every time Ramos opens his mouth to push the Mexican illegal immigration, we should ask him about the Mexican Immigration laws.

To solve our immigration crisis U.S. should adopt the Mexican immigration laws, probably the most draconian in the world.

Mexico, which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue. At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the US look at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal immigration problem.” (Center for Security Policy ^ | April 13, 2006 | J. Michael Waller)

To solve our immigration crisis U.S. should adopt the Mexican immigration laws, probably the most draconian in the world.

Mexico’s Ideal Immigration Law—Let’s try it here at home

Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society: Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)

Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)

Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national
interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)

The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)

Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country: Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)

A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86) A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).

Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:

Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)

Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article116)
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned:

Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)

Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)

Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121).

Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico – such as working with out a permit – can also be imprisoned.

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says, “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)

Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article125)

Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty
or security” will be deported. (Article 126)

Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:

A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the countryis subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)

Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)

All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American immigration is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States.

Let’s call Mexico’s bluff on its unwarranted interference in U.S. immigration policy. Let’s propose, just to make a point, that the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) member nations standardize their immigration laws by using Mexico’s own law as a model.

I am sure Mexicans would be proud that the U.S. copy their more enlightened laws.

Whore-Hay did not ask a question, at first.

Jorge Ramos is a punk attention grabber. He follows the cue of the boys who think themselves brave by grabbing their crotch for a photo. They are punks that like cockroaches scurry away when events are not their feed.
